Effective Time Management Strategies

The effective delegating of tasks is an
indispensable skill for SME owners, and a direct
contributor to good time management. Some SME
owners delegate most every task before them, and
are still drastically short of time.

SME owners are usually ‘take charge’ people. They
know their businesses better than anyone and can
perform most every job. These owners often refuse
to let go of tasks below their capabilities, which is
not always in the best interest of the business. As if
the Captain of the ship refused to give up swabbing
the deck, because he felt no one could swab a deck
like him, these owners hold on to tasks. Many a
business vessel has run aground with clean decks.

As a small business owner, you must decide which
jobs would be better off delegated or outsourced.
Let go of any duty, which would be better
delegated.

Some people might do the job differently than you,
but effectively reach the same results.

Question every task in front of you.
